Summary The course of post-mortem breakdown of glycogen and ATP in turkey pectoralis major muscle was markedly influenced by several ante- and peri-mortem variables. Application of a proper stunning procedure was highly effective in preventing peri- and post-mortem muscle stress reactions. The physiological level of glycogen and ATP was not significantly affected by road transportation covering 260 km. Birds which rested for 24 hrs following transportation had lower glycogen and ATP levels at the moment of slaughter than non-rested birds. According to the changes in the rate and extent of post-mortem biochemical reactions, several meat characteristics such as water-holding capacity, colour, and tenderness were significantly changed. Furthermore, the results also indicate that turkey breast muscle is susceptible to a PSE-like condition as described in pork.
摘要 火鸡胸大肌死后糖原和 ATP 分解的过程受到多种生前和濒死变量的显著影响。应用适当的致昏程序可有效防止濒死和死后的肌肉应激反应。生理水平的糖原和 ATP 不受长达 260 公里的公路运输的显著影响。与未休息的鸟类相比，运输后休息 24 小时的鸟类在屠宰时的糖原和 ATP 水平较低。根据死后生化反应的速度和程度的变化，肉的一些特性，如持水性、颜色和嫩度，也发生了显著变化。此外，结果还表明，火鸡胸肉易受类似猪肉 PSE 的情况影响。
